[PATCH] gpiolib: add support for changing value polarity in the sysfs

From: Jani Nikula
Date: Wed Nov 04 2009 - 10:04:39 EST


Drivers may use gpiolib sysfs as part of their public user space
interface. The GPIO number and polarity might change from board to
board. The gpio_export_link() call can be used to hide the GPIO number
from user space. Add support for also hiding the GPIO line polarity
changes from user space.
